Images from security cameras show the moment when one of the suspects who broke into a luxury building in Santos, on the coast of São Paulo, had the car used in the escape attempt shot by military police.
After being injured, the suspect was taken to Santa Casa.
The chief delegate of the 3rd DP of Santos, Liliane Lopes Doretto, informed that the four men targeted a football player who resides in the building during the invasion that took place this Tuesday morning (1st). This athlete would be the player João Paulo, from Santos FC.

THE CNN contacted the Santos player’s staff, who confirmed that the athlete lives in the building, but countered that he was not there, therefore he would not be the target of the suspects.
According to the police, the building’s doorman was also involved in the action with the individuals.
According to the Public Security Secretariat, as soon as they realized the presence of police officers at the scene, the suspects tried to flee. In the attempt, one of them was injured, while the others invaded the building and took six hostages.
Furthermore, the delegate reported that after the negotiations, which took place peacefully, two individuals surrendered.
The case will be presented at the 3rd DP of Santos as qualified robbery, criminal association, attempted murder and qualified damage.
